For Alums
Stay connected with Rochester’s LGBTQ community.
Our alums are an important part of the University of Rochester LGBTQ community. We encourage our alums to engage with the community in many ways including through mentorship or financial support. Through these efforts, alums and the UR help ensure a welcoming, safe, and respectful environment where everyone can learn, work, and grow. Alumni Relations can connect interested alums with opportunities to support current LGBTQ students. Additional resources are available through the Office of Alumni Relations and Constituent Engagement.
The Meliora Collective
Join the collective and be part of the University of Rochester LGBTQ Community group. The collective is committed to celebrating the members of our community and fostering an environment that allows people to engage in ways that are authentic to them. This group provides a space to connect with other members of the community from a variety of backgrounds to share experiences, discuss ideas, and more.
Alum Benefits
In support of our transgender and gender-expansive alums, the University of Rochester will provide a complimentary, no-cost, reprint of diplomas for members of these communities. To take advantage of this service and request a reprint of your diploma, please contact Lauren McKenna in the Office of Alumni Relations and Constituent Engagement.
Events/Programs
The Office of Alumni Relations and Constituent Engagement is always seeking to provide and develop opportunities that are representative of the many identities of our alum population - this includes providing specifically LGBTQ-related programs and events.
